Reply #25: Then, honey- don't read it or watch those videos.

Just know that this stuff is being watched and documented.
We've got modern technology on our side.

Seriously, imagine the Civil Rights movement taking place in the era of the internet and youtube!
Imagine that all of the private ugliness and lies made immediately available for all to see.
Back then, people only knew a small part of what was going on at rallies.
Also, imagine all of the beautiful speeches of that era being available to listen to, over and over again, as soon as they had been delivered.
Got a friend at work who didn't hear Obama's speech about race?
Push a few buttons, burn it to a CD and print a copy of text.

Unfortunately, we have the crappy task of watching and reading this bull and getting all worked up.
But I really believe that our country is in one of those rare moments of great change.
Some people are being assholes about it, but they'll just be swept out of the way because there is nothing they can do to stop it.
